Quality Professor Quotes, #4

Again, from my plant biology professor:

"Gymnosperm means 'naked seed,' and that actually comes from Greek, because they competed naked in the Olympics. So when you have a gym class, you're all supposed to be naked."

New Pictures, Rasterbation

There are new pictures available for your viewing pleasure (also available in the sidebar). Presenting (in chronological order) Family Fun, Free Pool Thursdays, and Springtime.

Also, one of the pictures from the night at Pockets has been rasterized using the Rasterbator to make a huge piece of wall art for Adam's apartment (soon to be Adam's and my apartment). You'll have to come see it sometime after June 16th.

Quality Professor Quotes, #2 and #3

#2

"Really, they're just getting off on the soil."

-My HCS 200 professor on soil scientists rubbing soil between their fingers to determine the texture

#3

My plant biology professor, in describing the random-mating part of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (a state in which a species is not evolving), referenced the free love of the 60's and 70's. He went on to say: "now a drunken frat boy is looking for chicks, but the chicks want someone better looking, so there's not random mating." In other words, chicks are selective, so there is no random mating, thus our species is evolving.

Friday

I was planning on running today after my first class (around 10:00), since my 10:30 was cancelled, again. But I'm not quite feeling up to it after a bar outing (which is surprising, because I really didn't drink that much). So maybe I can squeeze one in at 4:30 instead. On that note, however, is a quote from the January Runner's World (okay, so I'm a little behind on my reading):

"I drank. It tasted like the Latin cousin of the mint julep. Overall, I gave it an eight. The mojito also came without the annoying "brain freeze" of the daiquiri, which can delay the intoxication process, and I knew then why the mojito had supplanted the daiquiri--both among the tourists and the Cubans selling them to the tourists."

Quality Professor Quotes, #1

"I guess you can call this the love canal, right here where the sperm swim."

-my plant biology professor, in reference to the neck of an archegonium,the female reproductive organ in bryophytes.

Stop the Beer Tax

Ohio is trying to double the taxes on beer. Seeing as I like beer, this makes me sad. Please contact your representative and tell him/her to stop the beer tax!

How would I know if you unplugged the speakers?! Gosh!!

So I spent about 30 minutes today crawling under the desk at work trying various locations on the back of the computer in which to plug the speakers (it was dark back there, and with all the other wires connected, I could only pull the tower out about 6 inches) because some douchebag unplugged them. And I was desperate for music because I had "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" in my head (reason unknown).

So I wrote a note:

I don't know who unplugged the speakers, but it was very un-cool of you.
-Kristin
(you can just turn them off with the button)

I thought that last in-parentheses part would help me sound a little less bitchy.


And, on a sadder note, I must relinquish the Ski Team throne tonight at officer elections. Seeing as how I can't race next year and all, I probably shouldn't be an officer anymore. I'll probably be replaced by someone much more responsible, but at the same time much less fun. It's a little sad; I was treasurer last year and president this year. I might actually have some free time come this October/November/December, maybe. On the other hand, I might be bored out of my mind. Time to join a new club!

Cinco de Mayo

So I woke up this morning on the floor outside my bedroom. And the only reason I didn't sleep later was because my alarm clock was going off--it was 8:00. When I finally left the apartment, 3 hours later, I spontaneously vomited in the parking lot. I just thought you'd like to know.

Issue 2

Despite having class on the ag campus all day Tuesday, I used a short break to haul my ass down to High & McMillen to vote 'no' on Issue 2. Apparently, a lot of other people did the same, because the proposed smoking ban amendment was defeated. Who wants to go to a bar to celebrate?

Summer Plans

Well, I got accepted into the Mayhew Program, meaning I'll be staying in Columbus for the summer. No llamas in Wyoming, but I think I'll be all right.
